Advertisement My colleague and very good friend, Waziri Adio, has a sense of humour that sometimes borders on the morbid. Shortly before we departed Lagos last Sunday on the first leg of ‘THISDAY Meets the Nation’ tour, he said: “If this aircraft crashes, THISDAY would be re-enacting the Zambia national soccer team tragedy scenario.” Mr. Victor Ifijeh (current Managing Director of The Nation newspaper) immediately scolded Waziri: “Why do you always think negatively?” Apparently, the editor of THISDAY, whom we all call Kabila in the newsroom, was not in a hurry to join his Congolese ‘namesake’ in the great beyond. He almost did.
